F.A.Q.

Do I have to bring my water to training

Water is not required as it will be provided by the camp.

Can parents watch training sessions?

Parents are more than welcome to stay and watch pitch training sessions (not in theoretical/tactical session). We’ll set up a specific area for parents to watch from so that they can observe safely. Additionally, please don’t interrupt training with comments or coaching advice for players or staff. There will be times when photography and video are allowed, and others when they are prohibited.

How will players be divided?

Upon arrival, players will be broken into three big groups based on age. Once the coaches get an idea of each player’s level and ability, they may shift players between groups to find the best fit for each camper.

Is this a tryout for La Masia?

The Camp offers players the chance to see how FC Barcelona’s youth and first teams train. It is not designed or run to recruit or scout players. The coaches are all FCB employees and are always looking for talent, but the camps do not send players to the FC Barcelona youth system directly.
There is the possibility that players will be chosen from each camp to train at the club’s training ground in Sant Joan Despi. Those decisions will be made solely by the FC Barcelona staff in London, and will be done by looking at players’ attitude, sportsmanship, and dedication, as well as talent level.

Who are the coaches?

The head coaches come from FC Barcelona’s famous Escola. They work year-round training FC Barcelona youth players, helping them improve tactically and technically, with the goal of eventually becoming professionals. The FC Barcelona coaches will be assisted by experienced local coaches who will help run drills and keep players organized. There will also be a licensed athletic trainer on site to deal with any injuries or medical issues that arise.

Are your camps licensed?

Yes. Our camps are fully licensed and approved by local authorities. And of course, our camp is licensed by FC Barcelona — that’s why they send us their coaches, and that’s why we are able to offer a camp at the club’s official training ground in Barcelona.
